ML gets drunk during a company gathering and MC takes him to his house and they meet his mother and sister in front of his house trying to reconcile, they get into a fight and ML intervenes and takes the mom outside and she tells him about her son's accident. ML doesn't say anything to MC and becomes distant as he tries to process things, he later on takes ML on a getaway and tells him everything and breaks down asking if ML has viewed him as one of his rapists all this time
That's the only thing i felt missing in the novel tbh, it doesn't delve too deep into his past but it does give hints here and there about his controlling mother and him having these urges to hurt himself and hurt the precious things around him since he was young by seeking dangerous lifestyles and situations, so i guess you can call it a coping mechanism, it's an outlet of some sorts for his internal issues
This is one of my favorite novels, it's painful to read and I cried reading many scenes. It's important to note that ML admits to having issues since he was a kid, and he does discuss them with MC at some point, I see how some people can be triggered and upset whenever ML actions are glossed over (which yeah he's definitely a POS who's no better than MC's rapists -he says so himself btw- ) but that's literally what this novel is about, two broken characters healing, and the premise is fucked up from the beginning but I accepted that before investing in the novel. It does get better in later chapters and ML falls super hard in love, but you will not enjoy this manhwa if you can't get over the toxic premise to begin with.
